Right To Buy for Housing Association Tenants

Wednesday, September 9, 2015 9:09:00 AM

You may have heard or read the Government has proposed to extend the Right to Buy to all Housing Association tenants.

We have been receiving a number of enquiries from tenants asking for information on how this affects them. The Government recently announced a Voluntary Right to Buy pilot scheme amongst a small number of housing associations. We are not part of the pilot scheme but you can follow the the outcome of the pilot scheme at: https://righttobuy.communities.gov.uk/am-i-eligible/housing-association-tenants/

The Government has plans to extend Right to Buy to more housing association tenants that are not listed as part of the Voluntary Right to Buy pilot. These plans are currently being drawn up and have not been confirmed yet.
